WATERFALLS

We have had wonderful weather over the Easter period but last week there was a storm which lashed the area. It was worse on Wednesday and Wednesday night. On Thursday morning after walking Sophie in the park we called in to the Whangarei Falls which are just below the park.

These are photos I took of the same falls in July 2012.

This is a view of the river after the falls

The following day we did our weekly walk up Parihaka. This is a small waterfall that is usually barely visible.

I have just changed the name in my post to Parihaka - it was changed a long time ago but has now been put back to Parihaka. People still call it by both but I try to use Parihaka and only realised I had the wrong name when I read your comment.

About Me

Born in Surrey at the end of 1943 I moved to New Zealand in 1965 and spent nearly 40 years living on a 5 acre property by 90 Mile Beach in the Far North.
In 2009 due to my husband's health problems we moved south to Kamo on the outskirts of Whangarei.
